Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EEPP at 94% against PocketBook Reader's 55%. EEPP also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). PocketBook Reader's advantage is ratings volume (9.8K vs 21) and chart position (#155 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
